A printed news article documenting the aftermath of CNN and Time's June 1998 'Valley of Death' broadcast, which alleged the use of nerve gas during the 1970 Operation Tailwind incursion into Laos. Following an internal review, both news organizations retracted the story, finding the claims could not be substantiated. This page, part of the Gene McCarley Collection, reflects contemporary journalism's coverage of the controversy and its impact on the veterans involved in the operation. Project: 219467
